The illustration shows a device in which several high-power collect, chucks are mounted on a tiltable carrier. The chucks are pneumatically operated and generate clamping forces of up to 70 kN at a pressure of 6 bat. Drilling is carried out on 2 planes. The axial holes are first drilled, and the workpiece is ‘then swivelled through 90° to allow the radial holes to be drilled. For very pre- cise work, its possible to provide an additional pneumatic cylinder to index the ‘workpiece by means ofa tapered pin (at the side or undemeath). The sectional view through the clamping collet shows that an enormous force-amplifying effect is obtained by feeding the motion of the annular piston through a bevel gear Unit, Callet chucks are very robust clamping devices.
